Glow In The Dark Or Battery Lit Corkies

[Guest Sundancefisher]

I am old, eyes are old, dark comes to soon these days. Therefore I need glow in the dark corkies for night fishing. Any ideas?

 

Cheers

I've tryed them before years ago ,they only glowed for 5 minutes then you had to shine light on it for 5 minutes.It was a pain ,when it gets dark you just have to go by feel.I've never heard of battery corkies.

wholesale has em forsure.. might have em in some of teh smaller flyshops too.. they are alright but dont work too too great for long periods of time like tungsten has posted. but worth a shot

looks like they have battery operated floats

...just not corkies...

 

I wonder if these could be jury rigged to act like a toothpick in a corky?

That would be one hell of a big corky ,you could put it in a small clear balloon before you blow it up

Louise craft has glow in the dark paint and a UV light will make it glow in mili seconds.

I believe u can't fish with anything battery powered for light. Its against the regs.

[Guest 420FLYFISHIN]

if you have a glow in the dark indicator you might want to attach a hook to it! just a thought

Dave .. not so.

You just can't jacklight fish.

 

Interesting angle though. So does it mean ya can't use a flashlight to tie on a new fly after dark? hummmmm

thingamabobbers are coming out with a new glow in the dark version of the ones they make...seen a few of them. not sure on the length of time that they actually glow. so if you could get your hands on them might be worth a shot..

You just need to temporarily tie it to your line first.

if its unlawfull then what do you have to say about my 1.5V battery with a hook hot glued to it....its how they electro catch fish right....lol

Fishing in the dark I like a white indicator. Works well.

use a syringe to extract the liquid from a glow stick and insert it into a large size thingamabobber, about 1/2 or so full, important to use a large bobber as your going to lose buoyancy with the liquid in there, seal with a drop of putty or tape, something you can remove to reuse the bobber . you have glowing fishing fun for hours

[SilverDoctor]

You can also just nymph with a tight line sands indicator.

I suppose you could try to use small pieces of heat shrink tubing on the mini glow sticks Sundance mentioned.

The trick would be not melting your lines in the process.

[FlashGordon]

brownstone has a really good idea there..... squeeze a bit of the glow stuff in and shake it around to coat the inside maybe?....then you could put a dab of superglue over the hole and scrap it off with an exacto blade to re-use....
